Rossendale's own miniature version of Pendle Hill, Cribden Hill, is set to be a highlight of this year's Round the Hills walk, organised by Rossendale Rotary. The distinctive hill, a prominent feature on the local skyline, offers walkers a unique experience that combines natural beauty with unexpected aviation interest.
Two Airstrips Near the Hill
Oddly enough, close to Cribden Hill are two airstrips – a functional one at a local farm and a model aircraft strip on the approach to the hill. This unusual juxtaposition adds a quirky element to the walk, providing plenty of conversation points for participants.
A Scandinavian-Style Pine Clough
As walkers traverse the flank of the hill, they will come across a delightful Scandinavian-like pine clough. This picturesque spot is well worth pausing at to appreciate its serene beauty, offering a moment of tranquillity amidst the walk.
Booking and Further Information
For those interested in joining the walk, more information and booking details are available on the Rossendale Round the Hills walk Facebook page. The event promises to showcase the best of Rossendale's landscape, with Cribden Hill being just one of the many highlights.
Rossendale Rotary continues to organise these popular walks, which have previously featured incredible views of The Halo and the famous slopes of Ski Rossendale. The walks are designed to appeal to both seasoned hikers and casual walkers, offering a chance to explore the area's natural attractions.
